A lifeline for ArtCAM

[Anonymous]

Are you part of the ArtCAM community, and are one of the thousands of people and businesses who’ve used ArtCAM during the last 24 years, and are uncertain of what’s next?

Hopefully we are here to help.

CarveCo is a team of ArtCAM professionals, engineers and developers with over 80 years of combined product experience. We understand the different markets and industries impacted by ArtCAM’s withdrawal, and how the businesses and individuals who rely on the software have been affected.

We share your love for ArtCAM, and are committed to its longevity. While we have not acquired any rights to ArtCAM from Autodesk, and cannot rebuild the product, we can offer an alternative solution for providing support, and are looking into how we can deliver software enhancements to all its users.

Please join us on the journey and register your interest at www.carveco.com to see how we can help you next.

Thanks

Mark and the Carveco Team

Dillon do you know who this Mark is?

"CarveCo is a team of ArtCAM professionals, engineers and developers with over 80 years of combined product experience."

PM'd Mark and the response was that they are "looking at a way to continue the ArtCAM legacy", is this real?.

Please accept my apologies for not responding sooner.

While I'm not familiar with this company and cannot vouch for the claims made by @Anonymous in this topic, there have been at least a few people named "Mark" who've worked on ArtCAM in some capacity during the last 17 years. That said, "Mark" is a common name!

I'm not at liberty to share personal information about Autodesk employees, past or present. In addition, I cannot discuss private details associated with specific Autodesk Community user accounts.

At this moment in time, I'm not aware of Autodesk partnering with any third-party company to deliver an offering associated with the discontinuation of ArtCAM. What I do know is that Autodesk company representatives are exploring several opportunities on how best to provide for its customers when ArtCAM is discontinued on 7th July 2018 and when access to Technical Support expires on 1st November 2018.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. As always, if I'm able to help, I will.

Kind regards,

Thank you for your response Dillon.

Yes thanks for the response Dillon.

I have decided to sign up and see what they are offering, I figure at this point I have nothing to lose.

So has anyone heard anything from these guys? I broke down and put my e-mail address in the form a week or so ago and have not had any contact.

Just curious

only spam mail to my private ADESK account (how did they get that) but then again I didn't sign up for anything.

if they want to win my vote then they need to offer some program information to consider viability to sign up for.

So far they are an unknown based in the UK, their website tells you nothing, is about a year old since conception and is registered under a private registry, some what a non-duplume
